Book Description
This book helps readers understand, teach, and support children with persistent low academic achievement who don’t meet special education eligibility criteria, or for whom Tier 2 MTSS interventions are insufficient. Designed to be implemented in inclusive classrooms with minimal resources, comprehensive chapters cover topics from reading, writing, and math to executive functions, SEL, and mental health. This critical, ground-breaking volume provides teachers, psychologists, and counselors with an understanding of the issues children and adolescents with mild cognitive limitations and other causes of low academic achievement face, as well as detailed, evidence-based teaching practices to support their academic and social and emotional learning.
